At the end of the story, the arrogant Mordred was so tempted by the laughter that he drew his sword and went crazy.
However, he was pulled by little Jack, and the words "A good child can't kill people casually" and then Altria added "As a sister, you should set a good example for little Jack", which instantly destroyed his thoughts.
Just like that, Mordred got a younger sister, and was completely dominated by her without any reluctance at all. This shows how lethal little Jack is.
but-
"I'm not talking about Miss Mordred, but someone else. That person really likes you."
After hearing what Lingxia said, little Jack's nose wrinkled even more and even his mouth pouted.
"Hmph, I don't like that guy."
"It's not good to lie. I remember you seemed to like her ears and tail very much. Don't you want to touch them?"
Little Jack shuddered and muttered softly:
"But, but she said bad things about Dad. I don't like her, and I don't want to call her mom!"
The person the mother and daughter were talking about was naturally Atalanta.
From her wish, it is not hard to see how much this ill-fated female hunter loves children. Little Jack is so cute, which instantly hits the latter's cute spot. In addition, after knowing the nature of little Jack as "a collection of unborn baby ghosts", a strong sense of responsibility burst out in her heart.
It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of doting on little Jack alone, Atalanta is definitely catching up, surpassing Reika, Shinji, Altria and Jeanne, and can compete with Mordred who has awakened his sister-con soul.
However, due to a series of events that happened before, Atalanta had a bad impression of Shinji. Although the misunderstanding of "blasphemy" was resolved and she was very grateful for Shinji's proposal for the orphanage and foundation, the disgust accumulated in her heart could not be eliminated in a short time.
It just so happens that Shinji is little Jack's father, the person he likes second most after his mother Lingxia. He was "hated" by little Jack because he accidentally said a few words to express his dissatisfaction.
They refused to hold him, and ignored this "mother" who had animal ears and a tail and was extremely cute. Altria, Jeanne, and Fiore all expressed varying degrees of resistance to this title at first, and even Lingxia was stunned for a moment. Only Atalanta took the initiative to ask little Jack to call her that.
Achilles objected to this, but it was useless, after all, the goddess was stronger than the flower protector. So, when little Jack rejected "Mother Ata", Achilles was unhappy on the surface, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was actually happy.
Atalanta was deeply shocked by this, her ears and tail drooped for the whole day, and she stared at Shinji with a resentful look during the combat meeting. At that time, Shinji was still thinking about how to resolve it, but his mind was occupied by the design drawings again, and he didn't think about it until now.
"Jack, do you believe Dad?"
"Well, believe me, Dad has never lied to us."
Little Jack looked at Shinji with admiration on his face, no different from a daughter looking at her adored father.
I don't know if it's because she no longer has the murderous rage of an assassin, or because Lingxia, Altria, and Jeanne taught her well, but little Jack is now a completely ordinary girl, with no signs of abnormality.
"Then you don't need to worry about dad. Dad can handle the relationship with Atalanta. You, don't deliberately hate someone you like just because of dad. Put dad aside, do you like Atalanta very much?"
Little Jack tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "I don't like her very much, just a little bit, about the same as Fiore's mother, but not as good as mom and dad."
"Fiore will be sad if you say that."
"Hey, I won't tell Fiore's mom, I'll only tell mom and dad."
Hearing Shinji's sigh, Jack smiled slyly, causing both of her parents to hit her on the head.
"You're a sprite."
"That's all. You don't need to worry about Daddy's business. You just need to do what makes you happy. If you do something wrong, Daddy and Mommy will correct you."
"Well, then I'll go and apologize to Mama Ata right away? I just saw Mama Ata walking in the garden."
"Still taking a walk at this late hour? Oh, I almost forgot, that's a cat. Cats love to walk at night."
Shinji muttered quietly and ruffled his daughter's hair.
"Go ahead, and be careful not to catch a cold."
"Yeah. Dad, remember to eat too."
Shinji took immediate action and started to eat the omelette rice.
Seeing his father wolfing down the food, little Jack's eyes formed crescents.
"I'm leaving now. Goodbye, Mom and Dad."
After watching her daughter leave, Reika moved to the seat next to Shinji and took the vegetable soup and handed it to him.
"You must have a solution. I have tried to persuade little Jack several times, but she still refused."
"Because the root of the problem lies with me... The child has really changed a lot since the beginning. It's all thanks to you, Reika."
"Not only that, but Artoria, Jeanne and the others also taught me a lot. In their words, I spoiled my daughter too much."
"There's nothing wrong with spoiling someone, but later on..."
Shinji was about to say something but stopped himself. Lingxia's eyes changed slightly, as if she noticed something from his expression.
"You...are you going to do something dangerous?"
"You figured it out."
"Well, you brought us here, and formally asked Miss Fiore to help you, and you also let little Jack and Miss Atalanta get close... You are afraid that if something happens to you and Altria, there will be no one to take care of us."
"Great, all correct."
Shinji was convinced. As expected, Reika's IQ and EQ were both incredibly high.
"If only I could rely on you more."
"It's not too late now."
"It's too late. We have no room to retreat now. What we are competing for is not brains, but strength. I am so ashamed. I have a good hand, but I still play it like this. It's really embarrassing."
"What else can I do for you?"
"No, just take good care of little Jack - if we don't come back, make sure to comfort her."
The bitterness on Shinji's lips gave rise to an unprecedented impulse in Lingxia's heart.
Why? She didn't know, she just didn't want to lose the man who saved her and did so much for her and little Jack.
She said she would pay it back with the rest of her life, but in reality she did nothing except take care of little Jack and go on a cross-border trip.
Aside from her deceased parents, she had never met anyone like this before.
I have seen the ugliness of human nature over the years, so I am more eager for the beautiful side of human nature.
Jack, Altria, Jeanne, she changed them, and they changed her.
It all started with the man in front of me.
"No, I think there's still something I can do."
"What is it?"
"Relieve your stress."
"Huh?"
"I know most of the ways to relieve a man's stress. How about giving it a try? You know my profession. You don't have to worry. I can do whatever you want."
Her silky eyes were full of seductiveness, and the corners of her mouth were raised as she breathed softly into Shinji's ear. The charm at that moment made people's heart beat fast.
